IKEA: Love For Textiles {Giveaway CLOSED}

Last month IKEA unveiled their brand new Textiles collection and 2013 Catalogue. Have you received your copy yet? If not, click HERE to download a copy or have one delivered to your mail box.

The IKEA 2013 Catalogue and Living with Textiles launch showcased an inspiring introduction into the creative and limitless world of Textiles.

“Updating your home doesn't have to mean extreme renovations or a host of new furniture. New textiles are an inexpensive way of making an impressive change!”
IKEA at Tempe (Sydney) is my local store. By local, I mean that it’s around 1.5 hours drive away, but it’s well worth the trip. We were there, just the other day.

I got to see some of the new ranges of fabric on display

in fun and creative ways

I particularly love that print up there, on the left. So fun and bright. It would make some very quirky looking curtains or a festive table cloth.

I think my IKEA have discovered my crush on them. They contacted me, wondering if my readers would be interested in a giveaway of their new coffee table book called SY – Love For Textiles.
Ummm, let me think about that for a nano-second… YES!

This beautiful book will make anyone a DIY pro and expand the creative horizons of even the most crafty designers.

I received a copy of SY – Love For Textiles and love it. It’s very photo heavy, so I think it’s perfect to sit and flick through – brilliant for inspiration and DIY ideas.

Not only have Ikea given Samelia’s Mum readers the opportunity to win one of two copies of this beautiful coffee table book, but I managed to get some fabric too. You know me and my love of fabric… I asked Ikea if they’d be interested in sending out some fabric too. You know the old saying, if you don’t ask, you don’t receive…

Ikea have come to the party and have not only sent me a bundle of fabric to play with, but have sent an extra FIVE bundles of fabric to giveaway to some lucky Samelia’s Mum readers.

Five HUGE bundles! I’ve taken a photo with a pen in front so you can see the size of the bundles.

Five lucky people will receive a bundle of home decor weight fabric to make something fun and then share some photos of the project on your own blog, or send them to me and I’ll showcase the finished projects at a later date here at Samelia’s Mum.

HiYes Ikea have very talented designers and sometimes their fabric collections are very beautiful. I think the collections of this season is very lovely As a Swede, living with Ikea all my grown up life, I have been through several different ups and downs concerning the fabric from Ikea. I live only 10 minutes way from Ikea and I think I have to go there strolling through the shop. I have by the way bought a wonderful black solid fabric in Ikea, very cheap as all their fabrics, and it is a wonderful quality as good as normal quilting fabric. But the qualities of the solids could vary a lot, but this was very good indeed.The book , the word Sy on the front of book means Sew. And I think it was very generous of Ikea to give you the bundles. Happy sewingBritt-Inger in Sweden

Hi Britt, thanks for the translation. How lucky to live only 10 minutes away from your local store. My hubby is probably glad that we don't live that close, otherwise I'd be spending a fortune there all the time.
